MANCHESTER UNITED are set to complete their third signing of the summer with the addition of Arsenal defender Thomas Vermaelen. Disgraced Liverpool forward Luis Suarez has apologised for biting Giorgio Chiellini - setting in motion a potential switch to Barcelona. While Chelsea are in talks to sign Dynamo Kiev winger Andriy Yarmolenko.

New manager Louis Van Gaal has already begun the process of overhauling his squad and splashed out close to £60m last week to bring Southampton left-back Luke Shaw and Athletic Bilbao midfielder Ander Herrera to Old Trafford.

And the Dutchman is set to clinch his third signing, with United close to agreeing a fee with Arsenal.

Vermaelen has already agreed personal terms ahead of his switch to United.
